Watery left eye for 7 months baby
Hello doctor, my baby 7 months old is having watery discharge from left eye since yesterday. She is rubbing both her eyes but there is no redness or puffiness. She is also refusing food/porridge. Sneezing and cough very occasionally no nasal discharges. She is 6.5kg (not a very chubby baby). Is medication necessary or any first aids/home remedy can be given?

For eyes,I would suggest you to consult a eye surgeon.
If mild, avoid unnecessary meds and just give steam inhalations for cold and cough and decongestant nasal drops for nasal blockade or increased cough on lying down.
Use paracetamol for fever if required.
If not improving OR accompanied by other symptoms like vomiting or loose motions or breathlessness and dullness or refusal to feed consult your paediatrician asap.
